Okay, so this doesn't directly prevent spam submissions, but it's still worthwhile, in my opinion.
On this site especially, I believe the spambots are after our sweet, sweet link juice. This PR adds rel="nofollow" to all user-created links (including the spammy ones). In the event that a spam job posting should slip by, the amount of gain on the spammer's part is now significantly reduced, because we're instructing search engines not to bother with their garbage links.
Also added RAKISMET_URL and RAKISMET_KEY settings to the example .env file.
